...I had no expectations when the season began so IMO, even winning 80 games was in itself, somewhat of an accomplishment. Anything above that I consider to be gravy and the future of this team looks very very bright regardless of what happens tonight and/or the next 2 weeks.

...even if they lose tonight, I will not be negative about this franchise...that includes the Steins and Cashman (for awhile)...not Girardi, & certainly not the players.



...here's to #28.

CC Sabathia: "We'll come out tomorrow and play a great game and win tomorrow." #Yankees

CC's version of the Messier guarantee. Hope it finishes like Messier and not like Ewing

 

[totus44]

Just win baby!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

This team did not know what it got until it arrived, in bits and pieces. forming a final package. They are where they are supposed to be because they earned it. Now get out there and win.

...^^^^

indeed, I feel the same, (for awhile), lol...
about face on Trashman, I will refer to him as Mr. Cashman, well, somewhat close...!

 

[mrmel29]

Its time!! Lets get some runs right away tonight.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

no way was this recorded in Houston.... more like NY, definitely not LA, all you'd hear in LA was peeps talking about anything other than the game....

 

[mrmel29]

Ok CC Messier. thru 1. So far so good. Lets get the bats going boys

 

[mrmel29]

Ok. And el kraken starts the rally

 

[yankeesince59]

...damn, Bird just barely missed that one.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Hicks needs to calm down and just make solid contact.

 

[mrmel29]

Come on Hicks> Stop letting good pitches go by and swing your fucking bat. No pitch counts tonight with full bullpens on both teams. First good pitch let it rip

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Judge: "Over Ruled"

 

[mrmel29]

Yeah judgie. Saved a homer on that one with his friggin shoulder over the wall. What a play

 

[yankeesince59]

...awesome play by Judge...maybe that will fire the guys up.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

...damn, Bird just barely missed that one.

.010th of a second earlier that ball would of been gone, rh-cf ...

Heard 'em say: Bird was hitting laser shots to the RF bleachers during b/p, hope he connects for a hr or 2 tonight...Judgement too...

 

[totus44]

Definitely naming my next Dobie Judge

 

[yankeesince59]

...also noticed Gurriel acting like a punk again...raised his fist because he thought he'd hit a HR....sit down, bitch.

 

[totus44]

"The Catch" added to Yankee lore....

 

[mrmel29]

Ok CC Messier thru 2. Lets get some runs already. Morton is just laying it in there

 

[mrmel29]

Same asshole calling balls and strikes in game 1 that was giving keuchel strikes 2 inches high. Come on its game 7 call a strike a strike already

 

[mrmel29]

This challenge is a joke

 

[totus44]

What? No fucking way
